This past Sunday I had a vision during a time of intense prayer and worship. I saw this person who was worshipping the Lord. Out of nowhere came this rubber-like substance that covered this person and began to try and smother this person. This person couldn't breathe and was panicking. Then the Lord blew His breathe on this “thing,” and it turned to glass. The Lord handed this person a rod, and He said, "BREAK IT!!!" He said, "I've given you the authority, so BREAK IT!!!" This person took the rod and drew it back and burst this 'thing' into a million pieces. Then there was no longer any space between this person and the Lord. This “thing” that had tried to smother and take out the person was broken and this person entered into the glory of God; His presence was felt like never before.Worship
The Threshing Floor of Worship
This past Sunday I had a vision during a time of intense prayer and worship. I saw this person who was worshipping the Lord.

The last, great move of the Holy Spirit will be distinguished by men and women who have been prepared by God for God.
We have given ourselves in prayer for revival; we have studied and discovered the Lord's heart for the lost. Without compromising the gospel's basic truths, grace has taught us to make Christ's message relative to our times and needs. For all our preparation, though, we have yet to prepare our hearts for God Himself.
Manicured Lives
Yesterday I pulled into a driveway and saw the most wonderfully manicured lawn. God spoke to me in the form of a question. “Do you think the owner of this property spends as much time with me as he does his lawn?”When God is not Enough
God "in" Himself is enough. God "by" Himself is not. We need one another.
We will never receive directly from God the grace and power for life He intends for us to receive indirectly through His Body. Pray, fast, shout, jump, run, declare, sing, worship, intercede, prophesy . . . whatever . . . they are all ineffective, but they make us feel spiritual, so we keep doing them. A form of Christianity that is mystic and pseudo-spiritual, that is always looking for, and hoping for something out of heaven is deceiving millions.
A Heart Without Idols
When we first come to Jesus, He accepts us just as we are: problems, sins and all. As our needs are met, however, we gradually discover that God is seeking something from our lives. What He seeks is our worship. But true worship is the consequence, the result, of seeing God as He is. It springs naturally from a soul purified by love; it rises like incense from a heart without idols.More Articles...
